| PALERMO | 1-2 |
INTER |
| Amauri 46 |
Ibrahimovic 7 |
|
|
Vieira 62 |
||
| Adriano, back in the team after spending a
few weeks in Brazil getting his mojo back, chested down a long ball and from about 30 yards Ibrahimovic let rip with a right foot volley that went straight under former Inter 'keeper Jimmy Fontana's body. Palermo never got going and Vieira and Adriano should have added to the visitors lead before Amauri punished some abysmal defending to equalise with the teams first notable attack. Palermo's chances of getting anything from this game went up on in smoke when Caracciolo replaced the injured Amauri. Shortly after Materazzi headed against the inside of a post, Inter restored their lead with a rapid counter attack. Adriano turned onto a Stankovic pass on the half way line and raced downfield (he may no longer be able to finish but he's still got pace to burn) before laying a pass into Vieira who blasted a first time shot, possibly via a deflection, into the top right corner of the net. Palermo hit the woodwork late on but Inter, the only unbeaten team from the top European leagues, were comfortable winners. Attendance : 34,095 Assists : Adriano, Bresciano, Adriano |

| CATANIA | 2-0 |
PARMA |
| Spinesi 67 (Pen) |
|
|
| Caserta 84 | ||
| Catania, who but for their awful kit, would
be the most non descript team in Serie A, took a deserved lead via a Spinesi penalty. Caserta tapped in a second after Izco got the better of a Parma defender before pulling the ball back towards the penalty spot. Catania are SIXTH, ridiculous. Attendance : 21,000 Red Card : Grella 38 (Parma) Assists : Colucci (won pen), Izco |

| ATALANTA | 1-2 |
TORINO |
| Loria 94 |
Rivalta 78 (og) |
|
|
Rosina 88 |
||
|
|
||
| The game was played under the blanket of a
thinning fog. A bizarre own goal gave Torino the lead. As Bernardini tried to hack clear Lazetic's speculative effort he sliced the ball up in the air, it struck Rivalta in the face and looped over Calderoni into the top right corner. Young midfielder Rosina slalomed his way past the Atalanta defender before beating Calderoni with a delightful lob. Seconds after Loria headed in Tissone corner referee Dondarini blew for full time. Attendance : 10,000 Assists : n/a, Balestri, Tissone (ck) |

| REGGINA | 2-2 |
LIVORNO |
| Bianchi 63 |
Galante 23 |
|
| Leon 77 |
Lucarelli 27 |
|
| Passoni swung in a corner, Galante darted
across the box, leapt in the air and shinned the ball into the net. Filippini played a pass out wide on the left to Cristiano Lucarelli, his brother Alessandro Lucarelli, who was supposed to be marking him, stood in the centre and Cristiano hit a first time shot past Pelizzoli. Alessandro Lucarelli headed an over-hit cross back towards Bianchi and the striker, who has struggled in recent weeks following a great start to the campaign, pulled the ball away from a defender with his right foot before blasting high past Amelia with his left. The tiny Leon latched onto a poor clearance to thump home the equaliser and earn Reggina their 'first' point of the campaign, having wiped out their 15 point Calciopoli penalty two weeks ago. Attendance : 10,5000 Red Card : Passoni 79 (Livorno) Assists : Passoni, Filippini, A Lucarelli, n/a |

| SAMPDORIA | 2-4 |

Totti 13, 74 |
|
| Flachi 92 (Pen) |
Perrotta 33 |
|
|
Panucci 44 |
||
|
|
||
| De Rossi beat a Sampdoria player to a loose
ball and drove a pass to Totti on the right flank, his marker was nowhere and the Roma captain galloped into the box before sweeping the ball into the bottom corner. Samp were level within seconds, Volpi blasted Mexes' poor clearance past Doni. Perrotta put Roma back in front with a fierily struck first time shot from the edge of the box. Panucci, who scored twice last weekend, volleyed in Roma's third a minute from half time. Totti capped off a fine performance with a stunning fourth goal. Cassetti dropped a high cross towards the back post and just as the ball was about to hit the ground Totti thundered a left foot volley into the opposite corner of the net. The ref gave Samp a gift of a penalty, making up for a Mexes rugby tackle on Bazzani in the box that had earlier went unpunished. Roma - superb in the league, rubbish in Europe. Attendance : 24,500 Assists : De Rossi, n/a, Pizarro, Totti, Flachi (won pen) |

| SIENA | 1-1 |
FIORENTINA |
| Antonini 18 |
Mutu 38 |
|
| 'Super Mario' Frick (Liechtenstein's all time
top scorer with seven goals) collected a pass on the right flank and his centre was tapped in the back post by Antonini. Siena, who actually have one of the best defences in Serie A (which says more about the quality of the league than it does about Siena) failed to deal with a routine pass from the flanks allowing Mutu to equalise. Attendance : 15,000 Assists : Frick, Toni |

| LAZIO | 3-1 |
ASCOLI |
| Belleri 7 |
Mauri 16 (og) |
|
| Pandev 25 | ||
| Foggia 84 | ||
| Paparesta, the World's best referee, was back
for this match. He may have been back a few weeks ago only I didn't notice. Mauri intercepted a poor clearance and struck a volley towards goals, the ball hit an Ascoli defender before going in off Belleri's elbow to Pagliuca's absolute fury. Mauri made amends, obviously inadvertently, when he deflected Minieri centre into his own net. Pandev, who has been on fire in recent weeks, scored a fantastic individual goal. He began the move with a turn on the half way line then nutmegged a defender, on the edge of the box a rapid change of direction took him away from another defender and he shot wide to Pagliuca's right. For a game so open it was a surprise then that we had to wait so long for the fourth. Rocchi got the better of Cudini as he ran into the box and rolled the ball across goal, Makinwa missed, Foggia didn't. Attendance : 30,000 Assists : n/a, n/a, n/a, Makinwa |
